研究视觉语言模型中对象传递是否成功,发现26.6%的查询会丢失目标对象。
Does the Selected Object Reach the Reader? Auditing Identity Handoffs in Grounded Language-Model Pipelines
- 通过对比选择对象与检索结果,检测信息传递断裂
- 体素仅匹配标题时,26.6%的记录在前五项遗漏目标
- 提出可复现的返回对象档案工具ROP,适合模型审计者使用
基于视觉语言模型的管道可分为三阶段:对象选择、段落检索和答案生成。若所选对象未能传递至读者端,手递过程即告失败。基准召回检查数据集关联的对象,可能与实际检索结果不一致。本文对3个选择器家族的600个HybridQA问题进行审计。在1,463个可解析记录中,精确键值查找与精确标题匹配能100%找回对象。当使用相同解码后的标题时,仅文本BM25在前五项遗漏389条(26.6%),而融合重排序的混合检索仅遗漏14条(1.0%)。两者身份不一致出现在329/1,792个可解析记录中。原始问题排名下,前五名检查结果分歧达106条(5.9%)。冻结阅读器比较显示,对齐对象存在使精确匹配提升28.6至31.0分。在特选64项样本中,移除目标段落导致精确匹配显著下降,而移除同长度对比段落则无此效应。本文发布返回对象档案(Returned-Object Profile, ROP),包含目标、返回ID字段、截断点、成员规则及完整预期群体,附带数据与离线回放工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Grounded language-model pipelines can be divided into three stages: selecting an object, retrieving passages for it, and using that evidence to answer. If the selected object must reach the reader, losing it breaks the handoff. Benchmark recall checks the dataset-linked object, which can differ. We audit 600 HybridQA questions across three selector families. On 1,463 resolvable records where the selected object matches the dataset-traced passage, exact key lookup and exact title matching return the object every time. With every ranked rule given the same decoded selected title, body-only BM25 omits it on 389 records (26.6%) at cutoff five, while hybrid retrieval with reranking omits it on 14 (1.0%). The two identities differ on 329 of 1,792 resolvable records. With original-question rankings, their top-five checks disagree on 106 records (5.9%). Frozen reader comparisons associate the aligned object's presence with 28.6 to 31.0 points higher exact match. In a deliberately selected 64-item cohort, removing that passage sharply lowers exact match, while removing a similar-length comparison passage does not reproduce the drop. We release the Returned-Object Profile (ROP), an executable record of the target, returned-ID field, cutoff, membership rule, and complete expected population, with data and an offline replay.
